Chapter Four: Fighting for the right of me~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````
"We can't tell anyone. You have no idea what it's like to be the only girl some of the boys have seen in months." Piper told Caveman looking at the floor as if it was the most fascinating thing. Stanley put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.
"Don't worry they'll never know." He reassured her smiling down at her. Piper gave him a weak smile and kissed him one last time before leaving the tent.
********
Piper entered the wreck room and looked around. Noting the pool tables and the amount of room from the top to the low ceiling. She had something planed, something wild and crazy; since her birthday was in a few days she wanted to do something crazy to celebrate her seventeenth birthday. **What to do what to do** she thought as she walked over to a pool table. There was a game being played but she didn't care and she new they wouldn't wither once she did what she was about to do. She jumped on to the table and was glad that Mr. Sir or Mr. Pendenski weren't here to see what was going on. The guys who had been playing made some cat calls as she got up. She was wearing her usual sweat shirt and was feeling kind of hot in the stuffy room. She pulled it off and the boys cheered even louder. She wore a white low cut tank top and tight jeans. Even though the jeans were tight she moved like a cat. She looked up and tossed down her sweat shirt. To high for her to reach and a bit out of reach if she were to jump she'd need one of the guys to help her reach one of the rafters so she could check it out up there. She kicked off her shoes as well as she looked around the room looking for a really tall guy. She found one and motioned for him to come to her.
"Yes you, now get over here I need help with something." She called when the guy pointed at himself. The guys looked disappointed that it wasn't them who were picked to help her. "Now get up here and crouch down so I can get on your shoulders." She said once he joined her on the pool table. He did as he was told and crouched down. She climbed on his shoulders easily and when she was positioned correctly she told him to stand up slowly. **Thank god this guy is really tall** she thought as she came closer and closer to the rafters. When he was standing at full height she was eye level with the lowest rafter beam. She slowly climbed to her knees on his shoulders.
"Just tell me if I'm hurting you." She called down to the guy holding he up.
"Don't worry you're so light I can't even feel you." He called back. **well, it's nice to know that I'm light to these guys** she thought as she grabbed onto the beam and pulled herself up perfectly so that she was sitting on the beam.
"Thanks dude! I'm good from here. I'll call you when I need help getting down." She called down to him. He nodded and jumped off the pool table. The boys watched her as she explored the rafters taking in mental measurements of the beams for her plans. She heard music coming from below. One of the guys must have turned it on. She knew this song it was call 'the young and the hopeless' by her favorite band Good Charlotte. She was on the middle beam the thickest of them all so she started to dance not worried about falling knowing also that she had a safety net of guys down below her who would probably do anything just to get a kiss from her.
"Cause I'm young and I'm hopeless I'm lost and I know this I'm going no where fast that's what they say, I'm troublesome I'm fallen I'm angry at my father, it's me against this world and I don't care, I don't care." Piper sang dancing moving her body to the music causing the guys to call things up to her trying to get her to come down and dance with them. She ignored them and just sang on dancing along with the music twisting her body as she moved making her look very seductive to every one.
"No one in this industry understands the life I lead, when I sing about my past it's not a gimmick not an act. These critics and these trust fund kids try to tell me what punk is." She sang on running a hand down her side causing the guys to yell even louder for her to come down. Piper was absorbed in the music like she normally does when she listens to the music she likes. She closed her eyes and let her body take over dancing feeling the music wash through her. Piper was fully lost in the music when the music died away and she was snapped out of her trance. She opened her eyes and looked around thankfully she realized that the song had just ended and her aunt wasn't there to scream at her for doing what she was doing. The song changed to 'My Bloody Valentine' and she smirked broadly and began to dance to this song. **Strange, it doesn't go in this order 'Emotionless' is supposed to be after 'The Young and The Hopeless'** Piper thought as the same cycle started all over again. She then realized that earlier when she was dancing that she called out to put on number seven when that song ended. She moved towards the edge of the rafter and a devilish grin before she jumped somersaulted and landed neatly on the couch. The boy's whooped and crowded around her trying to get her to dance with them. Piper shook her head and headed for the door. She passed the boom box in the room and took out her CD.
"Next person to go through my things will whish he was never born." Piper said dangerously walking out of the room.
*************************
Piper sighed as she approached her aunt's cabin in Mr. Sir's truck. She didn't ask him for the key's she was just a really good pick pocket. And anyway she was just borrowing the car, it's not like she was stealing it. She tilted her head to the side when she remembered when she 'borrowed' James' car. He was furious, the thought made her laugh. She was a faster runner then James was so she was able to get to the stables first and get away on her horse Midnight. She parked the car and climbed out and walked slowly up to her aunt's cabin. She opened the door and peered inside hoping that the Warden would be there. She opened the door fully and stepped inside.
"Auntie K?" She called stepping into the room. She heard something move in the next room and walked to the door and opened it. Her aunt was going through old boxes looking for something.
"Can I ask you a favor?" Piper asked as she closed the door behind her. The Warden looked up with her eye brows raised telling her to continue.
"I was wondering, since my birthday is coming up in several weeks, if I could invite some friends over and have a small party with the D-tent boys." Piper explained looking hopeful. The Warden sighed and stared tiredly at her.
"Do you remember the last time you through a party?" Her aunt asked her. Piper nodded and grinned. "It was too wild and someone almost got hurt. I don't want a repeat of that." She continued. The hopeful smile on her face diminished into a frown as she remembered her last party. It was crazy alright, one of her friends must have spiked the punch or something, but no one got hurt. Or pregnant for that matter. She thought she had it pretty under control. Piper gave her aunt the puppy dog face that always won over her fathers decisions.
"Please? No one got hurt last time. I promises not to let Serena spike the punch or whatever drink I have." She pleaded putting her hands together in a hopeful motion. Her aunt just looked at her with an 'are you serious?' look.
"I am very serious about that. I won't let anything bad happen. I swear upon my pet snakes Elvis and Jarred." Piper continued placing a hand over her heart and one in the air to show that she was actually swearing.
"Alright. But, if anything bad happens I am banning you from any other parties and that you will have to dig holes until even Stanley is finished." The Warden warned looking sternly at her. Piper found that unfair but if that was the conditions then she would have to be careful and not let anything bad happen. Piper nodded in agreement and gave her aunt a hug.
"Thanks." She said happily and walked out of the room. **Well, now that that's over with. On to call my friends and the boys.** he thought as she climbed back into the truck and drove back to camp.
**************
"You stole my car!" Mr. Sir yelled when she parked his truck in front of his office.
"I didn't steel it I borrowed it." She corrected tossing him the keys and heading towards the tent. Mr. Sir was about to say something but stopped when he noticed thar a yellow spotted lizard was following her.
"Don't move!" He cried taking out his gun Piper stopped and turned around. "One of them lizards is following you." He explained taking aim. Piper looked down and picked up the lizard and looked at its face. She sighed and placed in the big pocket in her sweat shirt.
"What are you doing! If that thing bites you it can kill you!" Mr. Sir yelled walking forward looking scared.
"It's not going to hurt me and it's not an it it's a girl and SHE is going to lay eggs soon." Piper said in a matter-o-facty voice smirking at him. He looked at her dumb founded before he turned and walked away shaking his head. Piper pulled out the lizard and let it sunbathe on her hand as she walked back to the tent.
She entered the tent to find Zigzag sitting on his cot writing something. (A/N: I will do justice Air! You just wait and see!!) Piper watched him for a while taking in his features. His hair was a frizzy blonde, he had nicely toned muscles from all his digging. His eyes were a startling blue similar to hers except his were softer and nicer looking then her hard and cold ones.
"Hey" She said softly for some reason wanting to whisper and not break the silence. She sat on her cot which was across from his and set the lizard down next to her. Zigzag froze at the sight of the lizard.
"Why is that here?" He said nodding to the lizard that lay conferrable on her pillow.
"She's harmless. She's going to be laying eggs in a week or so, so she's no threat to you." Piper reassured him smiling her hard eyes softening ever so slightly. He looked into her eyes and shivered.
"Every time I look into you're eyes it's like a cold breeze hits me full force." He said softly still looking into her eyes.
"I guess I can take that as a complement. I just love striking fear into the hearts of fellow J.D.'s" Piper said half mocking and half sounding pleased at his statement. He laughed softly and edged forward a little on his cot.
"I know about you and Caveman." He stated suddenly. Piper looked up a little scared.
"H-how did you find out?" She asked him a little worried and scared about what he knew and what he could tell to others.
"I could tell that he wanted you and that it was just a matter of time before he kissed you. I could, basically, see it in his eyes went he went into the wreck room." Zigzag explained shrugging. "And I wanted to tell you that he's not your type." He continued. Piper raised an eyebrow at him.
"How do you know what my type is?" She asked mockingly laughing softly to herself.
"Let's just say that I'm friends with your old boyfriend. So, I know you like dangerous wild crazy guys. And that defiantly rules out Caveman. I can tell that he's not dangerous, wild, or crazy. He got sent here because he stole a pair of shoes. I bet you've done even worse things that that!" He said smirking at her. It showed in her eyes that he was right and that he didn't miss a beat.
"You know, you never told us why you were here anyway." He continued setting aside whatever he was writing in.
"Attempted murder towards my ex and one of his friends who thought that he would play a little 'joke' on me. He got himself landed in that hospital and as for my ex well let's just say he came crawling back asking for forgiveness as soon as the hospital freed him." She said with a devilish smile creeping across her lips. He smirked at her.
"You can tell that Caveman isn't you're type just from that. He stole shoes and you've.well, you've attempted murder." He reasoned with her she looked down.
"Six" She said. He looked confused so she continued. "Six times. I've tried to kill them six times. And every time I didn't get caught until the sixth time." She said softly. At that moment it hit her. He was right Stanley wasn't her type. He was like Batman. And she was like Poison Ivy. It just didn't work out.
"So, are you saying that you know who my type is? Tell me then, who out of every one here who do you think is my type?" She asked mockingly forgetting her thoughts.
"Some one like me, X-Ray, Squid, Magnet, or Zero." He sated smirking at her.
"I could agree on you. I hate X-Ray and at this moment I am planning ways to kill him. Squid just doesn't spark my interest. Magnet is like squid. And Zero, he is just way to quiet. And I doubt he's had much experience." Piper said sounding slightly depressed at some thought that was pushing around her mind.
"So, you would go out with me if what you said was true." Zigzag said his smirk broadening.
"I guess, I'm not saying that I would say no. I'm saying that if you asked I probably say yes. But, under circumstances the choice is hard because I have to deal with the whole entire place that is filled with boys who are now so horny by my precise are trying all these lame pickup lines that frankly just don't work on me." Piper explained laughing at memories of the boys and their stupid pickup lines. Zigzag laughed as well with a mental picture of what it must look like.
"Then why are you with Caveman?" He asked resting his elbows on his knees and leaning on them.
"I don't know. In all the relationships I've had they were all crazy and dangerous. I guess I feel I want or wanted a safe relationship that won't get me into trouble with the police." Se said sadly looking down. Zigzag put two figures under her chin and turned her head to look at him.
"I know how you feel. And if it's any consultation to you. I wouldn't get you in trouble with the police or be wild and dangerous with you only if you wanted." He said softly resting a hand on her cheek and caressing it softly with his thumb.
"Can I ask you something?" She said suddenly looking into his eyes.
"Sure."
"Can you watch her I have to get her a box and some food. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere." She said and gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking out of the tent. She found the stuff quickly and returned to the tent to find Zigzag there as well as Stanley. Stanley was writing a letter to his mom and Zigzag was watching the lizard carefully.
"Hey." She said smiling at the two boys. Stanley looked up and smiled warmly at her. She returned his smile and walked over to her cot and sat down next to the lizard picked it up and placed it into the box. She looked back over at Stanley to see that he had turned back to his writing with his back to them. She looked up at Zigzag and saw that he was watching her intently. She smiled and gave him another kiss on the cheek bringing him back to reality.
"Hey." He said. Their lips were still close together since she was just pulling away when he spoke. His warm breath sent shivers down her spine and she pulled back even farther and looked down at the lizard, who was looking at her. She picked it up and held it up in Zigzag's face.
"I think she likes you Zig." Venom stated when the lizard licked his nose. "And don't worry it's only deadly when it bites you." She continued noting his slightly scared face. "What should I name her?" She asked Zigzag and Stanley. Stanley shrugged and turned back to his writing.
"Do you have a favorite band?" Zigzag asked looking down at the lizard, who was level with her chest.
"I LOVE Evanescence! I got it now!! I'm going to name her Amy Lee after the main singer in Evanescence!" She cried making the lizard jump and bare it's fangs at her. The lizard settled down again and relaxed. Piper placed it into its new home. The lizard settled into the small blanket inside the box and, what seemed to be, dozed off. She placed the box gently under her cot and stood. She motioned for Zigzag to follow her and left the tent forgetting the Caveman was still there.
She walked over to the shack that held the shovels and pulled two out.
"I challenge you to a duel." She said tossing him a shovel and holding hers ready.
"I accept your challenge. Prepare to meet your end." He said with mock seriousness. They circled each other with hawk like eyes waiting for either one to make the first move. A crowd started to encircle them when they saw their odd use for the shovels and their predatorily stalking of each other. As it turns out Zigzag was the first to move thrusting his shovel out attempting to knock hers away form her. She blocked and the duel began.
"Do you really think that you can beat me at MY game? I should let you know that I was the champion fencer at my high school." Piper said with a devilish look in her eyes that could make any guy brave or cowardly ones run from her screaming bloody murder.
"Really, this is YOUR game is it? Well, why don't you put your skills where your mouth is!" Zigzag challenged eyeing her for a spot that could be a weakness. Sadly there was no spot that appeared to be her weak spot. She blocked his every attack and moved cat like around in circles her sneakers not making a sound on the hard soil. She lunged and flipped over his with the help of her shovel and caught him off guard by hitting his ankles with her shovel causing him to fall to the ground hard on his back. His shovel flew from his hand as she pinned him with one foot on his chest and her shovel tip first at his throat. She gave him a triumphant smirk and pulled her shovel away. She put a hand out to help him up, which he accepted, and pulled him up.
"Told you so." She said with a look to match it.
"Oy! Zig!" Someone called. He turned and someone threw him his shovel and round two started. Venom was caught off guard by this and quickly ducked a blow that he swung at her.
"You don't play fair do you." She stated half heartedly glaring at him.
"I could say the same for you." Zigzag stated as well.
"Then I guess you know me pretty well then." She said backing up and running towards him. She skidded on the ground and slid between his legs to his other side. But this time he was prepared for a move like this. He turned quickly and pinned her to the ground before she could stand, his shovel in the same position at her throat.
"Do you yield?" He asked with the same mock seriousness.
"Why should I? I'll just kick your ass again the next round." She shot back her eyes shimmering with the excitement of this duel. In one quick movement she grabbed his shovel and knocked him to the ground straddling her self over his waist with his shovel poised at his throat.
"I told you I would win." She said smirking at him. "Do you yield?" She repeated his question grinning at him. She lowered her head closer to his with raised eye brows. She forgot about the other guys watching her, she forgot about Stanley. The only thing she saw and remembered was her and Zigzag on the ground dueling with shovels. And the fact that she had beaten him.
"I yield." He said in mock defeat mockingly looking sad. She smirked at him and gave him an I-told-you-so face before getting up and pulling him up with her. "I knew you don't play fair." He stated brushing the dirt off his cloths.
"I never said that I yield did I?" She asked sarcastically. He rolled his eyes and held out a hand.
"Good game." He said. She eyed his hand before taking it with hers. They shook hands but held on a little longer then they should have. She smiled weakly at him before letting go and turning to the other boys.
"Bring on the next victim." She said sarcastically picking up the other shovel. When no one said anything she smirked and put the shovels away. "Woses." She said before making her way through the crowd and back to the tent.
***********************
It was dark; well not pitch black but still pretty dark. Piper made her way through the camp silently hoping no one would see her. She hated it when guys looked at her body and not her face. Sure she had a large chest and a nice ass (Her brothers tease her about), but her personality was much better then all that.
"You know, your boyfriend at home doesn't have to know everything that goes on here." A voice said behind her. She recognized the voice as Snake, the one who she broke his nose.
"Go away Snake. I don't have time for this, and I wouldn't do anything with you even if you were the last man on earth." She sneered turning around to face him. He just smirked evilly at her. He had a shovel in hand and a pang of fear went through her body. Sure she was a great fighter but this guy was ready for her every move and he had a weapon and she was unarmed. She took a step back glaring at him.
"You wouldn't." She said trying to keep her voice from cracking. But she was slightly unsuccessful for the last word she spoke cracked. His smirk just got larger when he sensed her fear of him.
"What? The great Venom scared? Now this is very funny." He said laughing at her. Anger welled inside her and she lunged at him knocking him onto his back. She straddled his waits and started throwing all her anger at him. He pushed her off easily. She may have been muscular but she wasn't very heavy. Snake punched her hard in the jaw. The force made her fall on her side. Snake took this moment to get on top of her and began to punch her. She cried out as loud as she could hoping that not a lot of people were heavy sleepers.
"Get off me!" She yelled bringing her fist up into his jaw. He fell back ward off her and she took that moment to get up and run. She didn't get very far when something hard and metallic hit her hard in the back. She fell to the ground and everything faded into black.

don don don what will happen next? REVIEW!!!
"We can't tell anyone. You have no idea what it's like to be the only girl some of the boys have seen in months." Piper told Caveman looking at the floor as if it was the most fascinating thing. Stanley put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.
"Don't worry they'll never know." He reassured her smiling down at her. Piper gave him a weak smile and kissed him one last time before leaving the tent.

"Six" She said. He looked confused so she continued. "Six times. I've tried to kill them six times. And every time I didn't get caught until the sixth time." She said softly. At that moment it hit her. He was right Stanley wasn't her type. He was like Batman. And she was like Poison Ivy. It just didn't work out.
"So, are you saying that you know who my type is? Tell me then, who out of every one here who do you think is my type?" She asked mockingly forgetting her thoughts.
"Some one like me, X-Ray, Squid, Magnet, or Zero." He sated smirking at her.
"I could agree on you. I hate X-Ray and at this moment I am planning ways to kill him. Squid just doesn't spark my interest. Magnet is like squid. And Zero, he is just way to quiet. And I doubt he's had much experience." Piper said sounding slightly depressed at some thought that was pushing around her mind.
"So, you would go out with me if what you said was true." Zigzag said his smirk broadening.
"I guess, I'm not saying that I would say no. I'm saying that if you asked I probably say yes. But, under circumstances the choice is hard because I have to deal with the whole entire place that is filled with boys who are now so horny by my precise are trying all these lame pickup lines that frankly just don't work on me." Piper explained laughing at memories of the boys and their stupid pickup lines. Zigzag laughed as well with a mental picture of what it must look like.
"Then why are you with Caveman?" He asked resting his elbows on his knees and leaning on them.
"I don't know. In all the relationships I've had they were all crazy and dangerous. I guess I feel I want or wanted a safe relationship that won't get me into trouble with the police." Se said sadly looking down. Zigzag put two figures under her chin and turned her head to look at him.
"I know how you feel. And if it's any consultation to you. I wouldn't get you in trouble with the police or be wild and dangerous with you only if you wanted." He said softly resting a hand on her cheek and caressing it softly with his thumb.
"Can I ask you something?" She said suddenly looking into his eyes.
"Sure."
"Can you watch her I have to get her a box and some food. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere." She said and gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking out of the tent. She found the stuff quickly and returned to the tent to find Zigzag there as well as Stanley. Stanley was writing a letter to his mom and Zigzag was watching the lizard carefully.
"Hey." She said smiling at the two boys. Stanley looked up and smiled warmly at her. She returned his smile and walked over to her cot and sat down next to the lizard picked it up and placed it into the box. She looked back over at Stanley to see that he had turned back to his writing with his back to them. She looked up at Zigzag and saw that he was watching her intently. She smiled and gave him another kiss on the cheek bringing him back to reality.
"Hey." He said. Their lips were still close together since she was just pulling away when he spoke. His warm breath sent shivers down her spine and she pulled back even farther and looked down at the lizard, who was looking at her. She picked it up and held it up in Zigzag's face.
"I think she likes you Zig." Venom stated when the lizard licked his nose. "And don't worry it's only deadly when it bites you." She continued noting his slightly scared face. "What should I name her?" She asked Zigzag and Stanley. Stanley shrugged and turned back to his writing.
"Do you have a favorite band?" Zigzag asked looking down at the lizard, who was level with her chest.
"I LOVE Evanescence! I got it now!! I'm going to name her Amy Lee after the main singer in Evanescence!" She cried making the lizard jump and bare it's fangs at her. The lizard settled down again and relaxed. Piper placed it into its new home. The lizard settled into the small blanket inside the box and, what seemed to be, dozed off. She placed the box gently under her cot and stood. She motioned for Zigzag to follow her and left the tent forgetting the Caveman was still there.
She walked over to the shack that held the shovels and pulled two out.
"I challenge you to a duel." She said tossing him a shovel and holding hers ready.
"I accept your challenge. Prepare to meet your end." He said with mock seriousness. They circled each other with hawk like eyes waiting for either one to make the first move. A crowd started to encircle them when they saw their odd use for the shovels and their predatorily stalking of each other. As it turns out Zigzag was the first to move thrusting his shovel out attempting to knock hers away form her. She blocked and the duel began.
"Do you really think that you can beat me at MY game? I should let you know that I was the champion fencer at my high school." Piper said with a devilish look in her eyes that could make any guy brave or cowardly ones run from her screaming bloody murder.
"Really, this is YOUR game is it? Well, why don't you put your skills where your mouth is!" Zigzag challenged eyeing her for a spot that could be a weakness. Sadly there was no spot that appeared to be her weak spot. She blocked his every attack and moved cat like around in circles her sneakers not making a sound on the hard soil. She lunged and flipped over his with the help of her shovel and caught him off guard by hitting his ankles with her shovel causing him to fall to the ground hard on his back. His shovel flew from his hand as she pinned him with one foot on his chest and her shovel tip first at his throat. She gave him a triumphant smirk and pulled her shovel away. She put a hand out to help him up, which he accepted, and pulled him up.
"Told you so." She said with a look to match it.
"Oy! Zig!" Someone called. He turned and someone threw him his shovel and round two started. Venom was caught off guard by this and quickly ducked a blow that he swung at her.
"You don't play fair do you." She stated half heartedly glaring at him.
"I could say the same for you." Zigzag stated as well.
"Then I guess you know me pretty well then." She said backing up and running towards him. She skidded on the ground and slid between his legs to his other side. But this time he was prepared for a move like this. He turned quickly and pinned her to the ground before she could stand, his shovel in the same position at her throat.
"Do you yield?" He asked with the same mock seriousness.
"Why should I? I'll just kick your ass again the next round." She shot back her eyes shimmering with the excitement of this duel. In one quick movement she grabbed his shovel and knocked him to the ground straddling her self over his waist with his shovel poised at his throat.
"I told you I would win." She said smirking at him. "Do you yield?" She repeated his question grinning at him. She lowered her head closer to his with raised eye brows. She forgot about the other guys watching her, she forgot about Stanley. The only thing she saw and remembered was her and Zigzag on the ground dueling with shovels. And the fact that she had beaten him.
"I yield." He said in mock defeat mockingly looking sad. She smirked at him and gave him an I-told-you-so face before getting up and pulling him up with her. "I knew you don't play fair." He stated brushing the dirt off his cloths.
"I never said that I yield did I?" She asked sarcastically. He rolled his eyes and held out a hand.
"Good game." He said. She eyed his hand before taking it with hers. They shook hands but held on a little longer then they should have. She smiled weakly at him before letting go and turning to the other boys.
"Bring on the next victim." She said sarcastically picking up the other shovel. When no one said anything she smirked and put the shovels away. "Woses." She said before making her way through the crowd and back to the tent.
***********************
It was dark; well not pitch black but still pretty dark. Piper made her way through the camp silently hoping no one would see her. She hated it when guys looked at her body and not her face. Sure she had a large chest and a nice ass (Her brothers tease her about), but her personality was much better then all that.
"You know, your boyfriend at home doesn't have to know everything that goes on here." A voice said behind her. She recognized the voice as Snake, the one who she broke his nose.
"Go away Snake. I don't have time for this, and I wouldn't do anything with you even if you were the last man on earth." She sneered turning around to face him. He just smirked evilly at her. He had a shovel in hand and a pang of fear went through her body. Sure she was a great fighter but this guy was ready for her every move and he had a weapon and she was unarmed. She took a step back glaring at him.
"You wouldn't." She said trying to keep her voice from cracking. But she was slightly unsuccessful for the last word she spoke cracked. His smirk just got larger when he sensed her fear of him.
"What? The great Venom scared? Now this is very funny." He said laughing at her. Anger welled inside her and she lunged at him knocking him onto his back. She straddled his waits and started throwing all her anger at him. He pushed her off easily. She may have been muscular but she wasn't very heavy. Snake punched her hard in the jaw. The force made her fall on her side. Snake took this moment to get on top of her and began to punch her. She cried out as loud as she could hoping that not a lot of people were heavy sleepers.
"Get off me!" She yelled bringing her fist up into his jaw. He fell back ward off her and she took that moment to get up and run. She didn't get very far when something hard and metallic hit her hard in the back. She fell to the ground and everything faded into black.
